Bonus! Song o' the Day: SKAugust

Dance Hall Crashers, "He Wants Me Back" from The Old Record (1989-1992) (The Last Angry Rude Boy)

Skammentary: Many of the romantic wounds rude boys lament are self-inflicted, as the rude girls of D.H.C. remind us.
"Yesterday the leaves were brown,
And I was wearing a big frown,
Because my lover left me for the girl,
That he had loved before.

"The sky was cloudy then turned blue,
Because I saw it was no use
To want someone whose heart was elsewhere,
So I decided not to care, oh yeah!

"He wants me back,
But he can't have me,
He wants me back,
There's no denying,
He want me back,
He's on his knees,
Now we'll see who's crying.

"The grass is greener without you, it's true,
So many things for me to do,
Living my life for me and on my own,
It is so great to be alone.

"And now you're knocking at my door, ha ha,
You've realized you love me more,
Well I've no time to hear apologies,
I've got the world to see.

"He wants me back,
But he can't have me,
He wants me back,
There's no denying,
He wants me back,
He's on his knees,
Now we'll see who's crying…"
